In this manner, user can conveniently pick up a drink sachet or a seasoning sachet immediately when the cup is used to make a cup of drink.

In the improved handle of cup according to the present invention as mentioned above, the lid is made by flexible material. According to the structure of the handle of cup, flexible lid can be compliant to the shape of the opening to close the receiving cavity tightly so that the effect of good contents storage can be achieved.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a perspective exploded schematic view showing the improved handle of cup of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a sectional schematic view showing the improved handle of cup of the present invention.

FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing the using state of the improved handle of cup of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The objects, the technical contents and the expected effectiveness of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description of the preferred embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective schematic view showing the improved handle of cup, while FIG. 2 is a sectional schematic view showing the improved handle of cup. Referring to these figures, a cup body (1) has a handle (2) provided on the outer periphery, which has a connection segment (21) formed from the cup body (1), a gripping segment (22) extended vertically to the connection segment (21), and a curved segment (23) formed between the connection segment (21) and the gripping segment (22), characterized in that a receiving cavity (24) is provided at the curved segment (23) and extended to the gripping segment (22), and a lid (25) is provided at the opening of the curved segment (23) to close the receiving cavity (24).

FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing the using state of the improved handle of cup according to the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the cup body (1) is used to fill with liquid beverage such as tea, coffee, boiled water etc. when it is used. Season sachets (such as sugar, milk) or drink sachets (such as tea bag, 3 in 1 coffer, tea with milk) are placed within the receiving cavity (24) formed at the curved segment (23) between the connection segment (21) and the gripping segment (22) of the handle (2) of the cup body (1).

Furthermore, the lid (25) used to close the opening of the receiving cavity (24) of the handle (2) of the cup body (1) is a flexible lid (25) which can be compliant to the shape of the opening of the receiving cavity (24) so as to close the opening tightly. Therefore, the effect of good contents storage can be achieved.

The abovementioned embodiment and drawings are not used to limit of the scope of the present invention. Equivalent variations and modifications made by the person skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention are still considered to be further embodiments of the present invention.

Based on the foregoing, the improved handle of cup has the advantages set forth below when compared with prior art.

1. The improved handle of cup according to this invention is provided with the design of a receiving cavity on the handle of cup body, which is used to accommodate the drink sachet for infusion or seasoning sachet therein.
